Didn't he learn anything from injuring someone last time?

I guess since there were no fans he felt he could throw it into the stands this time. I feel bad for his doubles partner. Him withdrawing means she automatically lost her chance at a medal.

https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/olympics/2021/07/28/djokovic-says-pressure-is-a-privilege-that-he-can-handle/47967105/

"Pressure is a privilege, my friend," Djokovic said in answer to a reporter's question after winning both of his matches at the Ariake Tennis Park on Wednesday, beating Alejandro Davidovich Fokina of Spain to reach the quarterfinals in singles then teaming with partner Nina Stojanovic for another victory in the opening round of mixed doubles.

"Without pressure there is no professional sport," Djokovic added. "If you are aiming to be at the top of the game you better start learning how to deal with pressure and how to cope with those moments on the court but also off the court."

All that buzz and all that noise is the thing that, I cant say I dont see it or I dont hear it, of course its there, but Ive learned, Ive developed the mechanism how to deal with it in such a way that it will not impose destruction to me. It will not wear me down, Djokovic said. "I feel I have enough experience to know myself how to step on the court and play my best tennis.

Earned what? He failed to medal. Simone Biles contributed to the silver medal the team got. Djokovic didn't get shit, threw a temper tantrum, and quit on his doubles teammate because he lost. Seems like he hasn't learned to deal with pressure. He has a history of throwing these temper tantrums. Maybe he should learn to act like a mature adult when he loses before he criticizes others.

He should be ejected from the next Grand slam IMO. This was incredibly unprofessional. Serena Williams has been thrown out over far less.

Djokovic is saying he dropped out of doubles because of a shoulder injury. I wonder if he hurt his shoulder during the temper tantrum or during the match.

this just proves the thing was never about Biles quitting. It was about politics (and by politics read her being black)

Well first you gotta be pretty well off to become a tennis player. You have to book courts and hire coaches. Spend a lot of money on fresh tennis balls because they become flat very quickly. Tennis rackets aren't cheap and you need to pay people to string them frequently.

To put it bluntly, almost all tennis players are rich kids.

Simone Biles didn't do that, though. She's practicing every day to see if she can get through the twisties and come back.

Again, really amazing that people give Djokovic a pass for acting like a child, but criticize Simone Biles because she's going through a legitimate problem at an inopportune time, even though she's trying to work through her issue.

But he also ran away from his upcoming doubles match, fucking over his partner, on top of throwing a pissbaby temper tantrum despite being a grown-ass man

You're being pretty blatantly disingenuous here. I've already explained to you that Simone Biles didn't run away in exact terms.

Continuing to claim she did is just you being willfully ignorant.

She didn't. She's still in Tokyo practicing in attempt to get past what she's dealing with.

Is amazing how proud some people are of broadcasting their ignorance.
